Lighting shouldn’t be an after-thought. Good architects should take every element into consideration when working on their designs. Early involvement by a lighting designer, prior to planning, will make a fundamental difference to the architecture – it can even provide inspiration.

A key feature of LUX WALKER by Tenebris Lab, is that it enables multiple people to walk through and interact with each other in the same space, from anywhere in the world. Users are fully immersed in a 3D true-to-life-scale project

Lighting a smart city is not just about having LED street lights. It’s far more than that. Getting the lighting right for a smart city or even an urban area needs careful planning and several important considerations need to be taken into account.

Lightemotion is excited to announce the completion of the lighting design for 180 Wellington, one of the first illumination projects to be executed within the Master Plan for the Parliamentary Precinct.

The LED light consists of a 3d printed net whose recycled polymer geometry is elastic yet strong enough to stretch and reform when subjected to tremors and shifting changes in it’s immediate environment.

The Jonathan Speirs Scholarship Fund supports students of architecture who are interested in developing a career in architectural lighting design. The Trustees announce two winners of the 2016/17 award.

Real-time VR solutions are becoming increasingly popular for the presentation of complex designs and spatial data. What sets them apart from traditional forms of presentation is that they give the user virtually complete freedom to move around the design.
